Test Architect

Join our team dedicated to delivering high-quality software. We strive to improve and optimize processes to support informed decisions before releasing IG products to our customers.

The Test Architecture team, under the Quality Management Center of Excellence, designs testability into the system and partners with solution architects. With a team of highly skilled test professionals, we develop test automation architecture and frameworks to standardize our solutions across IG Group. By fostering a culture of ownership, responsibility, and quality, we ensure the highest standards before final software delivery.

So, who are we?

Hello, we're IG Group. No, not Instagram – though we're a pretty big deal ourselves. We're a global, FTSE 250-listed company made up of a collection of progressive fintech brands in the world of online trading and investing. The best part? We've snapped up many awards for our top-class platforms, forward-thinking products, and incredible employee experiences.

We believe in financial freedom. And our purpose is to help ambitious people achieve it. Around 400,000 people use our groundbreaking technology and forward-thinking platforms to trade the financial products they know and love.

Did we mention we have offices in 18 countries? Yes, when you join IG Group, you'll have the chance to work across multiple brands, with people all over the world. Join us for an exciting future and let's innovate together

What you'll do:

As a Test Architect within the Quality Management department, you will:

Conduct research to identify tools, automation frameworks, and methodologies in the QA area.

Support technology teams needing improvements in automation, new frameworks, tools for test data, and standardizing QA solutions across IG Group.

Collaborate closely with the Performance Engineering team on top IG projects.

Work closely with Architects, Developers, and QA developers embedded in scrum teams.

Who we're looking for

You're curious about things like the client experience, the rapid developments in tech, and the complex world of fintech regulation. You're also a confident, creative thinker with a knack for innovating. We know that you know every problem has a solution. Here, you can try new ideas, and lead the way in creating inspiring experiences for our clients and everyone around you.

We don't fit the corporate stereotype. If you want to work for a traditional, suit-and-tie corporation that just gives you a pay cheque at the end of the month, we might not be for you. But, if you have that IG Group energy and you can stand behind what we believe in, let's raise the bar together.

What you'll need for this role

Strong interest in technology, industry trends, latest tools and technologies

Have an in-dept knowledge of IT Architecture

Effective interpersonal skillks for interacting with other stakeholders

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Ability to conduct research to identify tools, automation frameworks and methodologies

Ability to demonstrate an understanding of SDLC and Quality Gates

Good understanding of CI / CD Process Flow

Able to use necessary tools to debug problems with the software

Proficient in JAVA/Java Script Programming

Fluent English and great communication and collaboration skills

How you'll grow

When you join IG Group, we want you to have more than a job – we want you to have a career. And you can. If you spot an opportunity, we want you to chase it. Stretch yourself, challenge your self-beliefs, and go for the things you dream of. With internal and external learning opportunities, and the tools to help you skyrocket to success, we'll support you all the way. And these opportunities truly are endless because we have some bold targets. We plan to expand our global presence, increase revenue growth, and ultimately deliver the world's best trading experience. We'd love to have you along for the ride.

The perks

It really is more than a job. We'll recognise your talent and make sure that you can still have a life – at work, and outside of it. Networks, committees, awards, sports and social clubs, mentorships, volunteering opportunities, extra time off... the list goes on:

Home office equipment reimbursement

Performance-related bonus

Private medical cover for you and your family/partner (Medicover)

Life insurance (Generali)

Employee-led LGBTQ+, Women's, Black, and Parents & Carers networks with an annual budget for organizing events & projects that foster an open, diverse, and inclusive culture

Career-focused technical and leadership training in-class and online, incl. unlimited access to the LinkedIn Learning platform

Well-being events as well as Employee Assistance Programme

Summer picnic , New Year party and other social events

3 additional days off a year - 1 to celebrate your Birthday and 2 for voluntary work

Where you'll work

We follow a hybrid working model; we reckon it's the best of both worlds. This model also feeds into our secret ingredients for innovation: diversity, flexibility, and close connection. Plus, you'll be welcomed into a diverse and inclusive workforce with a lot of creative energy. Ask our employees what their favourite thing is about working at IG, and you'll hear an echo of 'our culture' That's because you can come to work as your authentic self. The things that make you, you – like your ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, age, gender identity/expression or physical capacity – can bring a fresh perspective or new skill to our business. That's why we welcome people from various walks of life; and anyone who wants to help us realise our vision and strategy. So, if you're keen to connect with our values, and lead the charge on innovation, you know what to do.
